                                      Response to Question 36

          On July 26, 2011, the FCC declared null and void an authorization of EchoStar

Corporation, Hughes’ parent company, to construct, launch, and operate a new Direct Broadcast

Satellite at 86.5º W.L. for failure to meet the critical design review milestone, and rejected

EchoStar’s request to modify its 86.5º W.L. authorization to allow the in-orbit EchoStar 8

satellite to provide service from that orbital location.1

          The FCC also has denied a few of Hughes’ and EchoStar’s applications for initial license

or modification.2

          The FCC has dismissed, but not denied on the merits, a few of EchoStar’s license

applications without prejudice to refiling.3
